Explanation:

a) Sales terms of 2/10, n/30 means that all credit sales are granted a cash discount of 2% if payment is received within 10 days and the credit period is for 30 days, beyond which interest will be accrued.  The customer must pay within 30 days, within 10 days to take advantage of the 2% discount.

b) On June 15, Garfunkel Bookstore could not benefit from the discount window since it did not pay within 10 days.  It therefore lost 2% or $24 for paying three days later.

c) Under the perpetual inventory system, inventory movements are reflected in the accounts immediately.  Inventory is tracked continuously.  It is unlike the periodic inventory system where physical count had to be undertaken before records are made in the books.  The perpetual inventory system is more efficient and technology-friendly than the periodic system.

hi there, i would say your answer is:

b. there is a fixed quantity of resources and technology available.

hope that : )
